While her main interest is indies, most of her profit and popularity have come from being involved in two major franchises.
Out of her 27 films, I have seen 19 of them. I will rank all of the films I have seen, and then give a short review for each of my top 10:
19) Serena
18) House At The End Of The Street
17) X-Men: Dark Phoenix
16) Red Sparrow
15) No Hard Feelings
14) Passengers
13) The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2
12) The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1
11) X-Men: Apocalypse
10) Don't Look Up - Lawrence's latest work. I'm rarely going nuts for satire's, but I thought this was good enough.
9) Winter's Bone - The film that got people interested in Lawrence's talent. It sees her play a daughter of a troubled family. While searching for her drug-dealing Dad, she is trying to keep the rest of her family intact.
Nominated for 4 Oscars, including Best Actress, this is definitely a strong showing by Lawrence.
8) X-Men: Days Of Future Past - The film that got the franchise back on track. It sees director Bryan Singer back at the helm and a lot of the original cast.
It is a great return to form as the new breed of characters mixed really with the original.
Lawrence's character is set out to kill the President and believing it will prevent a war with mutants.
7) Joy - Lawrence plays the title character, and this film tells the story of the beginnings of a powerful business dynasty.
I had no idea what the film was about, and was amazed that it was a true story.
Director David O. Russell gives us a really interesting and well-told story. Lawrence and the rest of the cast is great.
6) The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - A really enjoyable sequel to the four film franchise. It sees Katniss and Peeta return to compete in the games, one year after becoming the first ever co-champions.
With this games only involving previous winners, it sparks a rebellion within Panem.
5) The Hunger Games - The film that most audiences would have been introduced to Lawrence.
Based on a popular series of young adult novels, it sees the daughter of a struggling family take her sisters place in an annual televised competition, which is a fight to the death.
I always like this type of a concept and the execution of it works really well.
4) American Hustle - Nominated for an astonishing 10 Oscars, this complex crime drama sees a con-man being forced to work with an FBI agent and enter into the world of the mafia.
I think the complexity might put people off. But the rest, it is a heavily detailed story with some powerful performances.
All the stellar cast are on top form, including Lawrence. She plays the wife of the con-man, played by Christian Bale.
3) Mother! - A dark and creepy horror-thriller which sees a couples relationship tested when unexpected guest start to arrive.
Director Darren Aronofsky does his best to unsettle you with this film that feels more like a nightmare. Yet I still couldn't take my eyes off of it.
2) Silver Linings Playbook - David O. Russell's Oscar-winning comedy drama, sees a teacher aiming to get back with his ex-wife.
Meanwhile, he meets a mysterious girl (played by Lawrence) with problems of her own.
The amazing performances and strange charm to it makes it a highly engaging piece to watch.
1) X-Men: First Class - We see the X-Men franchise go back to before the team even existed. We are in the 1960's and the U.S government enlists humans with special abilities to stop a dangerous man that could start World War III.
Everything about it screams blockbuster. It is fun, exciting, thrilling, action-packed and everything you want from a superhero film.
Lawrence plays Raven, a mutant who can turn into anyone.
14) Passengers
13) The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2
12) The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1
11) X-Men: Apocalypse
There was enough ridiculousness that made me laugh. But it also felt scarily real that it was more tragedy than comedy and in the end became rather depressing.
Not quite the complete package. But enjoyable enough.
